The Gas (From The Cradle To The Grave Collection)

On October 3rd 2009, I posted The Gas's Ignore Me Single. A few people requested to hear more from them, but unfortunately I never got around to it. Just recently I got another request, due to the dead Megaupload link. I figured this was a perfect opportunity to put together my own retrospect, or best of if you will. I dug through my records, and these are all I have. I seem to remember seeing another single years ago, but this may be all of their releases, I'm not totally sure. I pulled my favorite songs from each one; sorry for the crappy picture, I didn't feel like taking each picture separately, and my camera sucks, Enjoy!!

The Gas were a UK three piece that were around in the early eighties. Unfortunately, for as many records as these guys put out; not allot of info exists.

The first Gas single was 'It Shows In Your Face' / 'Tomorrow' (Nov 80), 'Treatment' was also released on 12". There's also a 1983 promo 7" of 'From The Cradle To The Grave' / 'Look What Love Has Done To Me'. Good Vibrations is not the famous Belfast label if you were wondering. Burke and Vickers previously played with both Sounder and Sneeky Feelin's (one 45 each).

I knew there was another single; I definitely remember It Shows On Your Face. I either had, or still have it. I can't imagine, I would have gotten rid of it. I'm going digging again to see if I still have it.Thank you for the info; I appreciated it.

Your welcome, glad I could help. I'm familiar with the Sneeky feelins record, I never heard the roadhousedogs though, thanks for the links, and the comments. By the way, I can't find my It shows on your face single. I can't imagine that I would sell it; maybe it will pop up one of these days, bummer.

Broken Links

Unfortunately, all of my pre 2/19/12 online files were lost during the takedown of Megaupload. I hope to eventually fix all of my broken links in time. But until then, if there's something you really want to hear I’ll consider requests.
